Twenty one students and a teacher of a private school of Chatter village in this district were injured today when the roof of a classroom collapsed, police said.
All the injured students are from Class X.
Although the school was closed for summer vacation, the students had come to the institution to prepare for Yoga Day celebrations on June 21.
Eyewitnesses said the roof collapsed because a portion of the school building was in a dilapidated condition.
